Milford dad, son facing ammo, gun charges

Guns, baton seized from home, car, police say

A Milford father and son are both facing several charges for possessing and improperly storing guns and ammunition after police were called to a home on Green Street Tuesday night, police said.

Charles H. Nadeau Jr., 58, of 13 Green St., and Jason M. Nadeau, 28, of 45 Littlefield Road, are being summoned to court after officers seized several handguns, a rifle, multiple large-capacity magazines and a collapsible baton from the father’s home and from the son’s car, our news partner Wicked Local reported.

Milford police received a call from a woman at 7:49 p.m. screaming that a man in the house had a gun. The call was then disconnected, police said.

Officers found a woman outside the home screaming, "Get in there, he’s got a gun,” according to Lt. James Falvey.

Police said they found a man, later identified as Charles Nadeau, upstairs and without a weapon on him.

Police searched the home and found a 9 mm pistol on the floor of the bedroom closet and 50 rounds of ammunition for it, Falvey said. They also found five high-capacity magazines for an AR-15 or M-16, and they also found three high-capacity magazines for a pistol, two of which were filled with nearly 30 live rounds.

As police were searching the home, Nadeau’s son, Jason Nadeau, arrived in his car and asked what was going on. He told police he had a handgun in the center console of his car and a rifle at his house, Falvey said.

Officers then searched the car and found a Sig Sauer .357 semi-automatic handgun, two high capacity magazines, a Smith & Wesson M-15 rifle, a high capacity feeding device and an expandable baton, Falvey said.

Falvey said that while Jason Nadeau has a license to carry, several of the high-capacity magazines seized are illegal in Massachusetts.

Charles Nadeau is charged with improperly storing a large-capacity firearm near a minor and possession of a large capacity feeding device.

Jason Nadeau is charged with possessing a large-capacity firearm, improperly storing a large-capacity firearm, possessing a large capacity feeding device and carrying a dangerous weapon.

Both are expected to be arraigned Thursday at Milford District Court.
